OUTSIDE AID.

II was, as every one will recollect, one Of
the main arguments used 20 secure the
erection of the present county asylum that,
when that large and splendidly equipped
public institution should have been
opened, II would largely abolish the fea
ture of "outside aid" to the poor of this
county expense that even then
was becoming a serious burden TO the coun.
", and one loudly calling for reform. 1t
was then argued that should person "
family become entirely dependent on the
county for their physical support, he or
they, would then be required to go to the
place to which before the pres
ent asylum was built they could not be
sent, because IL was entirely inadequate to
receive the poor, let alone properly care for

Prof BoltwOod, like all free traders, con.
tinues TO allege that It Is best for each ma
ton 70 contine itself to the industry 1t is nat.
urally adapted TO, and then by free exchange
supply It's wants. He says the highest results
are attained by Illinois raising wheat, and
Connecticut manufacturing cotton, and
then, by free exchange, each to supply the
other; and argues that II Illinois should
divide her energies and attempt to supply
herself with both directly, there would
result diminished industrial power, and u
corresponding clogging of national wei
fare. And says that If II is best that no ar
tItical barrier be placed between Connect.
same condition is best between nations.
But II one half the cost of the exchange
was devoted to stimulate the manufacture
of cotton in Illinois, would II not establish
a cotton manufacturing industry here which
thereafter would give us our cotton rs
cheaply as 1t could be made In Connect
cutY And then, could we not produce our
corn and our cetton in Illinois with the
same expenditure of labor as If one were
produced here and the other thereS And II
so, by producing both here, would we not
save the expense and labor of the ex.
changer And would not this saving OF
labor add TO the productive power OF the
country And If II adds to the productive
power, would 1t clog and retard our state
prosperity
Is It best for Illinois that Connecticut
should make Its cottons? Right here Is the
pith of the whole controversy? II II Is best,
the Professor says |, proves that free trade
IL best between nations. Admit It. for the
sake of the argument. The converse Is like
wise true. II II Is not best, then free trade
Is not best between the nations. Is II best
The argument is equally weighty and
conclusive with every otler manufacturing
enterprise, as with that of cotton. Without
manufacturing there would be no town In
the state with a population Of fifteen hun
